Abstract

The article traces the evolution of the concept of nation during periods of human history – Antiquity, the Middle Ages, Modernity – and also provides a scheme for the formation of national communities. The author points out that the modern understanding of the concept of the nation was formed at the turn of the XVIII-XIX centuries and is associated with the events of the French Revolution (1789), when the main features of the nation were formulated. At the same time, the article distinguishes between nation and ethnos as two different forms of organization of the human community.
